Portrait Thoughts #1

Eric was satisfied when he received this print of his portrait. He felt his request to have the photographer capture his "serious" and "playful" side was taken with just the right amount of "creativity" without looking too "art weird." Eric would return four years later to have himself photographed with his degree in engineering.



This picture would mark a historical date in the war between the Roberts Brothers. Steven (bottom left) and William (bottom right) followed in their Father's footsteps by keeping the traditional Roberts' look, while Luke (top Left) and Clem (top right) took their Mother's advice to "Loose the glasses and run a wet comb through your hair." A clear line was drawn that day and was rumored to be the reason Clem and Luke were not invited to Steven's ranch style wedding some seventeen years later.




Tina had asked the question "Collar up or down?" all the while fully knowing the answer.

Thank you Furthest Point -- now when I shut my eyes, I'm unable to get these faces out of my head. It's like you've burned them onto the backs of my eyelids.
I may never sleep again.

This might be your best post yet. The only thing that would have made it better would be to include a few photos of a young SO'C currently hanging on the walls of 323 Pond.
